CAR SHOPS BURNED.
Lack of Water and No Fire Department
to Fight the Fire With.


CINCINNATI, Nov. 1s.-At 2:S0 o'clock
this morning fire started in the carpenter
shop of the Cincinnati Southern railway, at
Ludlow, KY, and spread with great
rapidity, owing to the lack of water and the
fact that Ludlow has no fire department.
The immense car and machine shops, COW
ering two acres of land were totally des-
troyed, together with all the tools and
machinery and large lumber cars and
material The round house caught fire and
doomed but by heroic efforts
by the employees, the engines in it were re-
moved, and the building itself saved.
Among the losses are Mann boudor car,
pay car, a private car, two Pullman cars,
three passenger coaches, seven flats loaded
with coal, and twenty-five new freight cars.
About 500 employees will be thrown out OF
employment, and it will require long time
to rebuild the burned property.
Ludlow is small village on the Ken
lucky side of the Ohio river, opposite the
western part of Cincinnati, and mainly de-
pendent on the Southern railway shops for
employment of its inhabitants.
The buildings destroyed were the car shop,
machine shop, blacksmith shop, boiler shop,
tin shop, brass foundry repair shop, oil house,
lumber she'd sand house and two water
bdHkS, Dne coal Dlns dilu bIe fdlllOdtl supply
store containing $40, 900 worth Of goods. A
careful estimate Of the total loss makes it
sl75, 900. The property is fully insured in
two London companies.

Nom de Plunes.

Everyone to his taste To me there is
nothing more disgusting than the nom dc
plume. If writer has anything worth
saving, what excuse has he for not affixing
his name to it? The same remark applies
to the use of initials Time and again we
read good article aud eagerly look for the
authors name. only to find that the orig
inator is "xyz," " Bushwhacker," or what
not. For me it detracts half the pleasing
effect of the article.
In the April number of that excellent
journal, the Lreing, there appeared a crisp
article under the head, "A Newspaper
Reviewer" condenlning this inexcusable
custom, kept alive by the metropolitan pa
pers, which is robbing the genius of our
daily press of its Just due. This withhold
ing of deserved glory on the part of the
professional press is to be deplored, but
what can we say of the amateur who vol
UNFAIRLY hides himself behind some nom
sensical nom dc plume or his initials?
Come, brethren We may be literary
lights some day. Who knows? We do
not want to be like George Alfred Town
